I powered my ReQuests with a C-J 11a (70 watts, tube) for 2 years and loved the sound. However, when I upgraded to c-j 8a monos it brought the ReQuests to life. Nite and day improvement. Bottom line, the more tube power you can feed your ReQuests the more you'll like em.
Amplifier for Martin Logan Requests
I currently own a pair of Martin Logan Requests with An Audble Illusions pre-amp. I have auditioned the Calyton Audio M70 monoblocks and they sound good. The only problem is when I play them at high volumes they lose control. I have heard about Bat VK 200 & 500 , Sim Audio W-5 and several tube amps as better alternatives. I would appreciate any comments from ML owners and those who are familiar with these speakers. Thanks
